Guys I want to point out we have NOT see this board I do not know for sure what it is, I thought at first it might be a so called 400mW Senao which is really about 250mW (they are really pushing the -/+3dBm with this one) but looking at the images its not any design they have.
Also lets talk about this antenna design, we have been sitting on a sub $100 CPE design for a while now including antenna, designed around a 1-2 mile CPE. This is a lower power board with 18dBm output power and 10dBm antenna in a small 6"x6" integrated unit which is plenty for this distance. Issue is every dB doubles the PCB size thus cost more thus makes the design larger thus cost more etc etc :) So sub $100 28dBm EIRP unit with router, NAT, DHCP, bandwidth control etc.. Comments?
